Why does empathy help in understanding Kezia's father?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It shows affection behind his strict outer form

Empathy helps a reader look beyond visible behaviour and consider the feelings or intentions beneath it. Kezia's father speaks sternly and appears frightening, so she initially interprets him as unloving. However, his care after her nightmare shows that his strict exterior hides genuine affection and a desire to protect her. Thus option A is correct. Empathy does not turn him into Macdonald, remove Grandmother's important role, or erase Kezia's mistake. Instead, it gives a fuller interpretation of both characters: Kezia's fear is real, but the father is not simply cruel. Understanding this emotional complexity is central to the story's treatment of parent-child relationships.
